1. Kwahlalwa iminyaka yamithathu, kungekho mfazwe phakathi kwama-Aram* namaSirayeli.
2. Kwathi ngomnyaka wesithathu wehla uYehoshafati, ukumkani wakwaYuda, waya kukumkani wakwaSirayeli.
3. Wathi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli kubakhonzi bakhe, Anazi na ukuba iRamoti yaseGiliyadi yeyethu, ukanti sithe cwaka thina; asiyihluthi esandleni sokumkani wakwa-Aram?
4. Wathi kuYehoshafati, Wòhamba na nam, silwe neRamoti yaseGiliyadi? Wathi uYehoshafati kukumkani wakwaSirayeli, Ndinjengawe; abantu bam banjengabantu bakho, amahashe am anjengamahashe akho.
5. Wathi uYehoshafati kukumkani wakwaSirayeli, Khawubuze ilizwi likaYehova namhla.
